Current band members include the newest recruit Ewen Henderson (fiddle, highland pipes, small pipes, vocals, piano), Mike Katz (highland pipes, small pipes, whistles, bouzouki, guitar, bass), Alasdair White (fiddle, whistle, bouzouki, highland and small pipes), and Sean O’Donnell (vocals, guitar). Presented by the Celtic Society of the Monterey Bay. The Battlefield Band take the stage Wednesday night at 7:30.
